        My JM 284  Yangdong Y385T is leaking fuel from the fuel line that connects from the filter to the injector pump. Why would this suddenly start leaking? Only leaks when the engine is running, and the engine starts and runs great. It appears to be at the connector collar at the injector .  I'm probably over thinking this, but would appreciate comments before I start ordering parts. Anybody ever have this issue?  Tx   BG

          the rubber products that comes from china are not to good so a fuel line replacement when it is not that old is not uncommon. you can also check and see how tight the banjo bolts are . They have copper sealing washers that can also give you problems.

            bolts are tight. I guess i am more used to steel fuel pipe that doesn't leak unless you mess with it. The JM has braided flexible line .  I reversed the fuel line, both ends are the same, and sure enough the leak gained in volume at the “new” location. Ordered a new line  Thanks for the reply. BG

              what you can do is to use a die grinder with a cut off wheel split the compression sleeves the banjo fitting will come out ,they are barbed replace the fuel line with a better grade and use hose clamps.
